this is recognition that we have to get control over out-of-control governments. i think you were more accurate the first time. i idea here is that you have a free rider problem. when you have folks that are not paying union dues. kate's comment is right. it is a union breaking measure. some people see the unions as a free rider. picking the pockets of non union employees on union work sites. i think you should tell the president and vice president don't pick the american pockets so much. you know, i think republicans at the end of the day want to make a strategic move to extend the middle class tax cuts. but i think these huge revenue numbers which pick taxpayer pockets. don't go so far in that. taxpayers have limits. >> larry, i thought your position in that interview was right. i was thinking i'm glad larry is here in town comes down to my town to talk about economic growth. and we can have all kinds of arguments that you and i have had for years. but your position was right. we have to solve this problem which is going to involve problems in the interest in th

now it's time to govern. what's more important, what senator graham is talking about, the president has to start talk being spending cuts. we've already had two months of the new fiscal year. we're $292 billion in the deficit. there's some interesting numbers through there. revenues have increased $30 billion. they've gone up 10%. why that number is important is the president is able to raise the rates that he wants, he'll only collect $31 billion for the entire year, just on the rates. but the real problem is spending has gone up 16%, more than $87 billion. so we've got to start looking at, where are we going to cut spending? he wants to increase taxes to keep spending. we'll be in another mess, next year asking the same questions we're asking today. >> a tax increase only buys you a limited amount of time as long as the spending is more than that's coming in. why is he campaigning? he's not able to convince anyone on the republican side. i wonder, for all the reports you read about republicans being divided
